Gregory Zulu 65 impossible to repair. Because of a metal frame that is impossible to remove without badly bending it out of shape, and I have removed similar styles of frames for over 30 years from other companies, means a hang/handle strap that was probably embedded with a minimum of seam allowance cannot be reinstalled. A lightweight product that is also light on the durability of the basics of pack making. If it can't be repaired in the field it is not a product to buy. Cold hands and frigid conditions have taught me to avoid fiddly and complex gear that might look nice in the store but is an almighty pain on the canoe route, ski trail or hiking trail when it fails.
